Death ct Daniel Manning.

ALBANY, N. r., Dec. 2f.--Daniel Manning, ex-secretary of the treasury of the United States, died at l:4O to- day, at his residence. where for a week he has been laying in condition which it was known could only end in death. There is but one element Of surprise 10 those who have watched patiently with the sick man, and this is that he survived as long as he did. His vitality, which has been remarked frequently in the dispatches reporting hts condition, not only astonished his wonder to his physicians. Mir. James H. Manning, the ex-secretary's son, was so thoroughly worn out thst he sank upon so and caught the first sleep he has had since his father was stricken dowr. oung NIT. Manning has taken charge of ho arrangements for giving out ihsormatioa to the news paper men as well as experimenting the care of the sick man. As young Mir. Manning slept this morning no one about the house would give very defi nite news about the ex-seeretary's can dition beyond declaring tha. it was an changed and that he had passed com fortable night, all things considered.
 Alter the family doctor departed hr. James II. Manning awoke from his nap and gave some particulars of the night in the sick-chamber. His father, he said, had passed most of the time in s comatose state, arousing only at long intervals. At such times. however. he seemed remarkably bright, under the circumstances. He was so weak that ha could move with difficulty, and speech was altogether impossible; yet ghe expression of his eyes and the evil dent appreciation of the fact that the end was very near were touching in tue extreme
